·I hope you immediatly open the watch to carefully dry it as much as you can, the longer the water stays, the more it will be damaged ...
sorry about that , i can imagine your face when you found it in the machine.
Well , the dial still looks good ...

·I haven't noticed the hands at 1st glance but yes it is rust, and there is good chance the whole movement is more or less a block of rust. I'm afraid you are reacting 2 years too late, when something like that happens, it's a race against corrosion, you have to act immediatly.
That said, some people can do miracles with a watch like this but professionals will not lose their time if it is too rusty.
It will perhaps be a better move to change the movement or to sell the watch for parts.
Anyway you have to open the watch to have an idea of the damages, perhaps you will have a nice surprise ....

·mistakes happen, but a 2 year wait ? I think a 2 year ban from OF is called for .... just kidding.
Open it up and post some pictures. It will probably make some of the hard cases here cry !
